the exclusive management of the Vestry for the purposes of
cleansing and maintenance, and the remainder of the street
under the exclusive management, for the same purposes, of
the Strand District Board.
An arrangement made some years since with the Vestry
of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for the apportionment of Coventry
